"The Spirit of the LORD is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour." Luke 4:18-19
Welcome to Micah Challenge Australia
Micah Challenge is a global campaign of Christians speaking out against poverty and injustice. Join with churches, groups, Christian aid agencies and individuals to encourage our leaders to halve global poverty by 2015. God wants us to act in response to injustice. Find out how.
Micah Challenge Australia is calling on churches and Christians around the country to SAVE THE DATE - set aside Sunday 10 October 2010 (10.10.10) to pray, speak and act against poverty as part of a global Micah Challenge initiative. Click here for more information and to register your Church for 10.10.10.
This election, Micah Challenge is calling Christians to 'remember the poor' when deciding your vote. We also joined with MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY to coordinate a policy report card outlining the aid policies of the major parties. We want to see poverty reduction firmly established as a key election issue.

We encourage you order the Micah Challenge Action Toolkit in hardcopy, which includes the brand new DVD called 'THE WORLD WE WANT TO SEE' with videos (featured above) to inspire you to take action. Contact info@micahchallenge.org.au to place an order. Or you can click here to download individual 'Action Toolkit' resources in soft copy.
After hearing from our Pacific Island friends at Voices for Justice about the devastating impact of climate change in their countries, we felt called to take stronger action to ensure climate justice for the poor.
